Company showcases new cost-efficient storage systems for European data centers

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., March 10, 2004 - Nexsan Technologies, the leader in innovative storage solutions, today announced that it will exhibit its InfiniSANT line of disk-based storage solutions at stand 4:16 of Hall 1 of CeBIT 2004 March 18-24 in Hanover, Germany.

This marks the first time that Nexsan has presented its award-winning products at the leading ICT World Business Trade Fair. The company will feature its ATAboy/ATAboy2, ATAbaby and ATABeast storage technologies, as well as supplementary products and solutions. In addition, Nexsan plans to introduce a next-generation Serial ATA system and new products that enable customers to double the data throughput of Nexsan storage devices.

"CeBIT plays a critical role in Nexsan's plans to expand throughout Europe," said Diamond Lauffin, Nexsan's Senior Executive Vice President. "It allows us to present our award-winning products to a broad base of customers and it enables us to establish contacts with potential channel partners. Our sales strategy is based entirely on forming strong partnerships to achieve outstanding channel sales."

Nexsan's award-winning ATAboy2 series will be shown at the booth. It provides enterprise-class features and functionality in an advanced ATA disk-based solution that can scale from a correct-cost, entry-level solution up to meet the demands of the most storage intensive mid-range and enterprise applications. The ATAboy2 in its latest earned recognition led the storage category in InfoWorld's "Complete Guide to Hardware + Software" issue, featuring all 229 reviews published in the magazine's previous 12 months, with an "excellent" score of 9.1 out of 10. None of the other 29 storage products tested received marks in the 9 range.

ATABeast is a 42 drive enterprise-class RAID array built around the latest award-winning technology from Nexsan and high-capacity ATA disk drives. It is OS independent, needing no special software drivers or server-based management applications. Every component is redundant with individual components online hot swappable. ATABeast provides the highest density per square inch - 10.5 drives per U, 3.15TB per U (using 300GB drives).

ATABeast enables large file repositories for thousands of users to be stored on a single system and is ideal for all high-capacity applications - on-line storage, D2D, digital video, CCTV, online archives, among others. The high IOPS rating of the ATABeast makes it perfect in any data center. With LUN masking and high IOPS performance, all 42 drives can be active simultaneously.

Nexsan's ATAbaby disk-based storage solution utilizes ATA RAID technology to help expand storage capacity, improve business continuance and increase ROI. ATAbaby's high capacity and very affordable price point make it the ideal storage platform for small to medium business environments.

The new dual-chassis ATAbaby Twins configuration provides up to 2.4TB in a compact 2U configuration. The ATAbaby bundle is an ideal tape autoloader replacement for SMB customers who require a faster, more reliable backup solution than tape. ATAbaby Twins offer seamless integration for customers operating in Windows Server environments and fully supports the storage services of the new Windows Server 2003.

Nexsan products are installed at major corporations worldwide and are ideal for most operating systems, including Windows NT/95/98/2000 and Server 2003, Novell Netware, SCO, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, AIX and UNIX.
